We came home from the hospital last night.
It was a little early but it was great to finally
be in our own house and have a good night together.
Austin was so excited when we brought the baby to Grandma
and Grandpa's house. He couldn't wait to show everyone
his new baby. He can even say her name pretty well. We had a
great first night, and she loves sleeping all snuggled up
no matter who it is with, now we just need to get her to
sleep in her comfy cradle. Todd is going to take the next few days
off of work so it will be fun to have everyone home for a few days,
before we have to get back to old grind. I am still a little sore, but
that is expected after having a baby. Each day is getting a little bit
better. I am just thankful for pain medicine, what would we do
without it!
Todd's little brother got his mission call in the mail yesterday,
and we arrived just in time for him to open it
to see where he is going. He is going to the Dominican
Republic and speaking Spanish. He leaves in the middle
of June. This is going to be one busy summer. We have
Todd's sister getting married, my brother getting married,
Kurt (Todd's brother) leaving on a mission, and a
Family reunion. What fun we are going to have.
Congratulations to all and we hope everyone is so happy
with their wonderful decisions.
